| Comments |
Slovenia's first independent banknote series, issued in October 1991 following the declaration of independence from Yugoslavia, replaced the Yugoslav dinar through a two-stage process — first the tolar bон (bon), a temporary parallel currency, then the permanent tolar. This 2 tolarja belongs to the transitional bon series, printed domestically by Cetis in Celje rather than commissioned abroad, an unusual choice that reflected both the urgency of the moment and a deliberate assertion of self-sufficiency.
Cetis had a long background in security printing, but producing a sovereign currency on short notice under contested political conditions was a different order of challenge. The watermark is the only significant security feature — a thin specification for a note circulating during such an unstable period.
